One of my favorite meals ever is the BBQ Shrimp from a restaurant in New Orleans. Don't let the name fool you: the shrimp isn't grilled with a sweet barbecue sauce; it's simmered in a butter and Worcestershire sauce. This sheet pan version is reminiscent of these classic New Orleans-style shrimp flavors, but made much more quickly. You'll want to have some French bread handy to sop up the extra sauce!

Stuffed Eggplant Parmesan Rolls
Had this for the first time at a take-out pizza and pasta place in southern California. We all loved it so much that we came up with our own version that is just as good as the take-out one. This has become an all-time favorite in our house. Serve with your favorite tomato sauce, cream sauce, or other topping sauce. We serve this over spaghetti noodles, then top with favorite sauce sprinkled with cheese. Or just eat as they are straight from the oven.
Elise's Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore
Yummy, and even better as leftovers. My go-to recipe! Serve over a bed of pasta tossed in Parmigiano Reggiano.
Egg Salad
This is my favorite recipe for egg salad because it uses little mayonnaise and plenty of dill.
